Congregational Potluck

There will be a congregational potluck dinner after church on September 28, 2008. In an effort to go green, we are asking everyone to bring your own dishes. This way, we won’t be using up as many paper and styrofoam plates or using the church’s water.

Lost and Found

There is now a shelf unit on the east end of the coat rack that is designated “Lost and Found”. If you find something, put it there. If you have lost something, be sure to check there. This area will be cleaned out the last week of each month and items disposed of if they do not have a name on them. If I can identify who they belong to I will let you know and if they are not picked up by the second month they will be disposed of.

Ministry in Homes

The pastoral care team has begun a new thrust to have more contact within our congregation. Larry Winters will be helping the pastoral care team and anyone else in the congregation who may be interested in ministry in homes. Our initial kicked off at Sunday’s priesthood meeting with an announcement by Larry. We want to extend this opportunity to all priesthood and members alike who would like to be a part. Our goal is to get to know our congregational family more intimately; share their testimony, cares and concerns as a part of their daily lives.

We currently have a team of 6-10 people and would like anyone interested, whether it be 2x a year or once a week, there is no time constraint to be involved. Please contact Larry Winters or Tim and Lorri Seichepine for more information or to be involvled with this care team.

Our hope and prayer is that we will all be able to feel God’s love and direction in our lives in a more intimate and personal way.
